A fifth Somali man from Minneapolis apparently has been killed in his war-ravaged homeland, a relative said Friday.
Mohamoud Hassan, a 23-year-old former engineering student at the University of Minnesota, reportedly died in the past day or two.
"It's real bad news," Hassan's uncle said Friday night. "But that is what happened."
The uncle, who did not want to be identified, said he didn't know when Hassan was killed, but added that "it's very recent. Today or last night."
The circumstances of Hassan's death were not immediately known.
Abdirizak Bihi, a community activist who visited with Hassan's grandmother on Friday, said she learned of her grandson's fate after receiving a phone call from a relative of another young Somali-American who left his home in the Twin Cities last summer to return to Somalia to fight.
That man had told his relatives in a phone conversation shortly after noon Friday that he was standing in a cemetery in Mogadishu and had buried Hassan.

The following is an essay posted on Facebook by Mohamoud Hassan, one of a group of Minneapolis men who left for Somalia to join in a militant Islamic movement last November.
Mr. Hassan, who went by another name on his Facebook account, posted this in May 2007, when he still supported the Ethiopian invasion, which was backed by the United States and came at the request of the transitional government in Somalia. Friends said Mr. Hassan was related to the president of that Somali government, which may partly explain his initial support of the occupation.

The Latino Crescent - Latinos make a place for themselves in Muslim America
Snippets: Ocasio is one of the 44 million Latinos living in the United States who constitute the nation’s largest minority population, according to 2007 U.S. Census estimates. This, plus the rapid growth in the number of adherents to Islam in the United States, has given rise to the relatively new demographic of American Latino Muslims. In 1997, the American Muslim Council identified some 40,000 Hispanic Muslims in the country, a number that had swelled nine years later to a reported 200,000........
Although Islam has not permeated Latino culture to the extent it has black culture—24 percent of Muslim Americans are black—its influence is evident.
One less I have to deal with in the damn airport.
